America's Most Trusted Contractor Offers Advice to Victimized Homeowners

TORONTO, Nov. 23 /PRNewswire/ - Mike Holmes, star of Holmes on Homes and Holmes in New Orleans on HGTV will be in Pittsburgh November 24.

Mike Holmes is the champion of homeowners who've been ripped off by
unscrupulous and incompetent contractors. Homes are damaged by flood,
fire, severe weather, as well as bad renovations--and homeowners are
vulnerable to poor restorations, mould and structural damage in their
homes as well as easy prey to bad tradespeople.

Mike is appearing on November 24 from 12pm to 2pm at Borders Bookstore, 200 Mall Blvd.,
Monroeville, PA.  Mike will meet and advise homeowners still dealing with flood damage,
renovations and repairs, how to hire the right contractor and protect
your family from fly by night contractors. 

Mike Holmes is an expert on building for extreme weather. His was the
first home built in Brad Pitt's rebuilding of New Orleans Lower Ninth
ward after Hurricane Katrina. The house was featured in Holmes in New
Orleans and is wind, rain and mould resistant.

Mike Holmes is best known as the outspoken, plain talking contractor and
hero of people who've been victimized by bad contractors. A vocal and
passionate advocate for homeowners, Mike believes in educating and
empowering them to take charge of their renovation projects and protect
themselves with permits, contracts and accurate information.

Pittsburgh is the second last stop on this 7 city US tour to celebrate
the launch of HOLMES magazine. The final stop of the tour will take him toChicago.

renovations," Holmes says. "It's the magazine I was searching for and
couldn't find. So, I had to make my own, and Make it Right(R)."
